Single Idea 21897
[filed under theme 7. Existence / A. Nature of Existence / 3. Being / a. Nature of Being
]
Full Idea
Continental philosophers, following Heidegger, see in the attempt to reduce the question of being to that of beings a symptom of an age that is too ready to accept the terms in which science conceives the world.
Gist of Idea
Reducing being to the study of beings too readily accepts the modern scientific view
Source
report of Martin Heidegger (Being and Time [1927]) by Todd May - Gilles Deleuze 1.04
Book Ref
May,Todd: 'Gilles Deleuze' [CUP 2006], p.14
A Reaction
Interesting. I take the idea that this is a failing of the modern age to be ridiculous, since I take it to be the key metaphysical move made by Aristotle. Neverthless, Aristotle is closely in tune with modern science. For 'beings', read 'objects'.
